FKJ Lines Up New Album ‘Tyber’

FKJ has confirmed the details of his next full-length, ‘Tyber’. The album marks his first major project since ‘V I N C E N T’, an album that solidified his position as a solo force outside the loose jazz-house circuits of his early Paris days. Sessions stretched from London and Los Angeles to Brazil, Mexico, and back to the French capital, drawing in a small crew of vocalists and collaborators who shaped the record’s dual pull between solitude and connection.

The tracklist itself carries traces of that movement—veering from the quiet internal monologue of moments like ‘How Much Does It Take To Shift It All’ (with Lucy Park) to the weightier push of ‘Heavy Heart’ alongside Bas. Appearances from Baby Rose, Eryn Allen Kane, and Labrinth thread through the record, though FKJ’s own multi-instrumental hand remains the constant. He leans into personal reflection without turning the whole thing into a diary entry. The result works as a curated series of meetings, not just a producer’s rolodex.

First cut ‘Soulmates’ lays out the album’s central tension without over-explaining. A warm, tropical groove rolls underneath FKJ’s vocal, light enough to feel airborne but tight in the low end. He describes the track as a way of embracing solitude while keeping the important people close. “For me, solitude really works,” he says, “and I’m taking time with myself. But I really care about my soulmates, the people in my life who are important to me. It’s all about finding the balance.”

No release date has been fixed beyond “later this year,” but ‘Tyber’ already reads like an album built around logistics turned into language. The geography isn’t just travel log filler—it shows up in the textures and in the kind of patience that can only come from stitching things together across time zones.
